NUTS 2
The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) were drawn up by Eurostat in order to define territorial units for the production of comparable regional statistics across the European Union. The NUTS classification has been used in EU legislation since 1988, but it was only in 2003 that the EU Member States, the European Parliament and the Commission established the NUTS regions within a legal framework (Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003). For the purpose of comparability, NUTS classifications remain stable for at least three years, as specified by the regulation. However, if national interests require a change inthe regional breakdown of a country, the country concerned may notify the European Commission, who will then carry out the required amendments at the end of a period of stability, according to the rules of the NUTS regulation. Changes made under the 2014 Local Government Act prompted a revision to the Irish NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 Regions. These changes included the amalgamation of the local authorities of Tipperary North and South, Limerick City and County Councils and Waterford City and County Councils. In addition, three regional Assemblies were established (Northern & Western, Southern, Eastern & Midland) The new NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 structure and classification are displayed in a table on the CSO website https://www.cso.ie/en/methods/revnuts23/
